The Ontario Forage Network is a collaboration between the Ontario Forage Council, Ontario Hay Listings, Ontario Biomass Producers Co-op, and the Ontario Hay and Forage Co-operative.
ONForageNetwork.ca is the province's latest online database for forage, pasture, and biomass crop production. Seeding, growing, processing, storage, and selling these crops are all covered here. The Ontario Forage Council, the Ontario Hay & Forage Co-op, and the Ontario Biomass Producers Co-op collaborated to establish the network.
Everyone will be able to search items available from the co-ops and hear about their end use markets from this new platform, as well as see upcoming events and reports, post an ad, become a participant, and much more! It's simple to locate any of these institutions; simply type in their previous domain and you'll be taken to the appropriate network list.
The Ontario Hay Listings is also getting a makeover. Just hay, straw, and biomass advertising were allowed until now. They've now broadened the ranges to cover everything from manure trading to shovelling labour. This section of the site is still under construction, so if you have anything to promote that isn't mentioned, users can send an email.
The project is currently in its second phase, which involves creating a new home for the goforages.ca domain. This section will provide material on forage science, technology, and agronomy from a variety of sources.
